An Amtrak Acela Express races through the upper deck of Secaucus Station overtaking a stopped NJT commuter train along the NEC.

Dedicated as the Frank R. Lautenberg Rail Station, the $450 million, 321,000-square-foot station opened on December 15, 2003. It sits where the Main Line tracks pass under the Northeast Corridor allowing passengers to transfer between trains to and from Hoboken Terminal and trains to and from New York Penn Station. The station does not currently serve Amtrak trains, which pass through the station on the upper level outer tracks without stopping.
